Visordown X Machine Mart: The best motorcycle workshop tool reviews
Visordown has teamed up with Britain’s No.1 specialist tool and machinery superstore to bring you the best motorcycle workshop tool reviews on the web.
Ever since the earliest days of the motorcycle, owners have been picking up their hand tools and feeler gauges to carry out vital home maintenance on their pride and joy.
Fast forward to 2025, and those maintenance tasks may be less frequent, but they are still just as important to keep your bike running as it should. There is a flip side to this, and it comes from the cathartic release that bikers get from spending time with their bike, their thoughts, and a big mug of strong tea.
Be it replacing the gearbox oil in your Gilera, adding some ape hangers to your Harley, or bolting some new bling onto your Bimota, spending time with your bike is, for many riders, just as rewarding as riding it.
We get that, and so do the people at Machine Mart, who have crafted a tool and machinery offering that, be it a small job or a full rebuild, means they will likely have the perfect tool, at a very competitive price. They also understand that bikers are a very different breed from your average car driver in that we actively look to carry out maintenance at home. Because of this, the range of motorcycle-specific tools within the Machine Mart range is vast.
From big-ticket items like the Clarke CML7 Motorcycle Lift, to things like locks, chains and even ground anchors. If it can lift, move, secure, or allow you to fix or maintain your bike, the chances are it’s in there somewhere.
They also sell the ever elusive (and often invisible) 10mm socket!
To highlight the length and breadth of the bike-specific kit available at Machine Mart, we have crafted a new section of the website that will be devoted solely to tools, workshop kit and equipment - and some other handy trinkets to adorn your garage, shed or even living room with. And we won’t just be writing about the kit, we’ll be putting it through its paces, breaking it down piece by piece, and pointing you in the right direction should you want to buy it.
These reviews will be honest, unbiased and written from the perspective of a motorcyclist who understands what bikers need from a piece of equipment. Some of the links on the following pages may include affiliate marketing, meaning we earn a small commission.
